                                Over 24 million Americans have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and many find relief from symptoms by following the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet. While beneficial for reducing inflammation, this restrictive plan leaves many wondering: can I have cayenne pepper on an AIP diet? The short answer is no, not during the initial elimination phase.
